from El Nuevo Día - Opinión

The commitment of the Secretary of U.S. Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, Puerto Rico to provide more and better tools at the federal level to fight the police on crime is a major achievement, but not be seen as the ultimate solution to the security crisis facing the country.

IN COLUMN "Inequality and violence" (The New Day, Saturday 14 July) the exgobernadora Sila Calderon said on inequality and violence in our country. I agree on many things, however, and with all due respect I think there is also inequality for those who work every day and night after night.
They pay taxes for education, health and safety, among others. Then, parents can send their children to private school, pay for a health plan and security because the government does not provide services should be.
Who is at odds? The works, it dawns and seeks pecunio so upright and honest. That worker (which finally did it justice with tax reform) is the one who pays double of everything and not have the benefit of the health card, subsidized electricity, water, phone and internet now up. That is the inequality that we must talk. Not living the story wagon.
Mrs. Calderon, you had your turn at bat and took away the reform of the "marriage tax penalty" for getting of couple of dollars to government coffers. Never returned the first year of compulsory insurance and increased taxes, among others.
It is inequitable for which works decently and dawn. We have to start watching this with a different crystal.
Not in a mirror. If we are enjoying freedom, we must thank a soldier. Alfonso Serrano, MD

Movie Hole got hold of a casting call for the upcoming Kick-Ass 2.
Here it is:

“Classic Villain. An ex-KBG officer who is now being paid by the week by Chris to fight in his group — she is easily the most skilled and just a ruthless killer in general. Described as a ‘roided-out female bodybuilder, she needs to be extremely physically imposing and muscular, though still come across as feminine. As tall as possible (6ft and over only). Indicate height on submission.”

The part being cast is Mother Russia, a body guard for Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s Red Mist.

Shooting on Kick-Ass 2 is scheduled to start this September in Toronto and London. Jeff Wadlow is directing with Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Plasse all returning.
The plot will incorporate story lines from both the Kick-Ass 2 and Hit Girl comics by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.
Thanks to Sophie Best for the heads up on this one.
